Build Me Up, Buttercup: The Call for Activated Competencies

A favorite TV show of mine, Alias, focused on Sydney Bristow (played by Jennifer Garner – love, love, love her). She is a spy extraordinaire. Each episode saw her use those spy skills across the globe ruining various terrorist and extremist plans. To be sure, she was not just thrown into those missions without preparation. Besides a very helpful team, she was constantly developing her competencies— mastering new languages, learning advanced tech skills, adapting to high-stakes environments and more. Her ability to navigate complex situations, many times happening on the fly, stems from deliberate, ongoing skill development.
And while we may not have spies in our organizations (I left the door wide open for comments on that!) our employees still need tailored opportunities to grow and succeed in their roles. Organizational development isn’t just a box to check; it’s the backbone of sustainable growth and adaptability.
My mission is clear: to build a new health economy that is fueled by empowered people, innovative companies, and connected communities.
2 个月This is more important now than ever since we are entering a hyper-accelerated phase of change — change to business models, execution models and skills models. I bet Mike Erlin wants to way in here since he has spent the last 10 years deeply understanding the nuances of effectively identifying, building, and hiring against the “right” competencies.
